SHOT Show 2015: EOTech with three new products

The EOTech 558 is perfect for anyone that doesn't like to sacrifice.  The 558 is compatible with all Gen-I-III night vision devices and features an adjustable, locking quick detach mount that offers instant removal and attachment that will hold zero to 1 MOA.  The operational buttons are located on the side of the sight making this optic ideal for use with EOTech switch-to-side magnifiers.  The drop-in replacement Laser Battery Caps (LBC and LBC2) are designed to work with this model as well, increasing your aiming capabilities and speed to target all day and night long.

EOTech is at SHOT Show 2015 with three new products. 

The size is 140x56x71 mm with a weight of 377 g and the offer of 30 brightness settings (10 for NV). Two lithium AA batteries will power it for 1.000 hours (600 hrs with alkaline). The buttons have been moved backwards for easier use. The 558 is fully Night-vision compatible.

Non Night-vision compatible is the EOTech 518. But the best just got better.  The 518 runs on easy to find AA batteries but offers all of the features found in EOTech’s EXPS top of the line sight. With side button functionality you can reduce rail space when partnering the 518 with an EOTech magnifier.  The 518 is also compatible with the new drop-in Laser Battery Caps that EOTech designed to enhance aiming through the use of visible and IR lasers. Weight of the 518 is 377 g and 1x CR123 is good for 600 hrs.

Also new is the EOTech X640. It will replace the older X320 and offers a much higher resolution. The model X640 delivers advanced thermal imaging technology in a compact, rugged design. The X640 thermal imager provides impressive 640 x 480 resolution with a 30 Hz refresh rate and is shockproof and waterproof.  It has the ability to detect activity up to 1,100 yards making it perfect for public safety, first responders, security operations and hunting where local laws allow. It can detect human activity 1,100 yards away and offer a 2x, 3x, or 4x zoom with white hot, black hot, detection palettes or custom color modes. There is also a video port for simultaneous recording, customizable camera features with provided user interface software and two AA are good for 5 hours run time.
